Prophet’s Prey - 2015 - 5/10
Disturbing account of Warren Jeffs, leader of a distaff branch of the Church Of Latter Day Saints (Mormons).
Above, he is pictured with a fraction of his 60+ wives, the youngest was 12 when he married her.
Documentary does a good job with chronology. Even handedness is another matter.
Straight off, the score by Nick Cave, dark and forbidding from beginning to end.
I found this to be more than overly subliminal.
Jeffs is a convicted child molester, rapist and polygamist.
While the documentarian drives by the offshoot sect, no one is interviewed. Or no attempts are shown on record.
Watching left a sour taste in my mouth, and I realize others may be horrified.
